I Hate Wikis

I Hate Wikis
by
Robin Hall


Regardless of your Internet savvy, your ability to speak Hawaiian etc. this has just gone too far. Wikis, wikipedias, wiki dot com etc. are simply made up foolishness.

Say you are doing REAL research and need references. NO FUCKING SCHOOL IN THE WORLD allows you to site a wiki source. If any do, and I missed them, pardon the fuck out of me.

Wiki sources are NOT real. No one KNOWS who wrote the article in some wikifoolishness.com and these articles are no more than bull shit "sources".

Now some articles are useful if, and only if, no REAL encyclopedia has an article about whatever topic you are seeking information about. Some moron or other truly feels they ARE the end all and be all of information sources about this topic.

Yet, where is the beef? Who writes this bull shit? Why don't the writer's credentials matter in the least? Who should or would actually care what some unknown, uncredentialed writer would say about anything?

Yet, wiki foolishness abounds and before the last 4 years, was the word even a word? Wiki wiki was/were the real word/s / phrases. It is real in only one language in the world, but wiki is a silly coined phrase / word that means nothing other than someone/s can write whatever they wish about anything and add their foolishness to others foolishness's.

I will stick to Britannica for my info needs and do my own research.
